The rather fiddly `nsapi_create_stack` template + overloads used during
socket formation don't inline their core, which is the identity operation
for `NetworkStack *` itself. Make code generation easier by having that
core be inline.
New members are added to the network interface
-getaddrinfo
-getaddrinfo_async
gethostbyname is unchanged but gethostbyname_async result param now contains results od DNS records found.
Test cases for sync/async added added to DNS test folder.
MBED_DEPRECATE macros is added to string-based APIs.
New, non-string-based APIs are added in their place.
Wiced binaries rebuilt
Any existing stubs or mocks are adjusted to compile and run with the newly added non-string based functions.
Protocols like mdns requires IPv6 link local address to be advertised in its
records (AAAA record). LWIP::Interface::bringup() API is creating IPv6 link
local address;But as of now there is no API exposed by mbed-os to get the
IPv6 link local address.
This new API is required to deliver mDNS library support on mbed-os for Cypress
platforms. Unit tested it by invoking get_ipv6_link_local_address with a simple
application.
Added Multihoming feature to LWIP (ability to use more than one network interfaces) for increasing networking reliability.
This involves:
LWIP interface
LWIP IP routing
DNS storage
Sockets (bind to interface name possibility)
possibility to add non default network interface
cellular middleware modifications if cellular connection is used
